Fortunately, I never had the displeasure.
I am now about to be lulled to sleep by Night at the Roxbury. Again.
(and sweet jesus. there's a docu about fixies. i believe it comes with a free pair of ladies' jeans and an Arctic Monkeys EP)

Just started watching Peep Show, can't believe I hadn't heard of these "Mitchell and Webb" guys before, lol. It has great cinematography for a sitcom, the humor is black and ofttimes borders on morose and depressing, even more so than most other shows. Not quite as side-splitting as Spaced, it's sort of like if Coupling got in a car crash, suffered brain damage and became paralyzed in random parts of the body.

Watched Fixation and it was pure rubbish. Even the track bike fan agreed.
Watched 6 Days to Air- awesome. I still can't believe they were on acid at the Oscars. I feel compelled to start watching South Park regularly again.
Started watching Note by Note, a docu about the making of Steinway pianos in their Queens factory. Interesting, but c'mon. Unless you're a piano enthusiast, I don't think you'll be able to keep watching.

PB, who knows nothing about bikes, said "It's not a track bike if you have a free wheel!" so basically, yes. at least it was short.

Kenickie- we almost turned it off with the "I;m an artist and my bike is my paint brush" comment. And the editing... ew
But, I did just come across this, although it's several months old.

I'm sorry, the hipster fixie sensation, especially in Seattle where it's totally ridiculous to own one, bugs the shit out of me.

It bugs me to the point of momentary cardiac arrest/aneurism.
I'm from SoCal where there are probably just as many hipsters as Seattle, Portland and San Fransisco combined.
Legalize murder, folks.
I just finished watching Paul McCartney Really is Dead.
Whether or not you're familiar with the theory, it's incredibly fascinating.
It's the kind of movie that leaves your mind racing when it's over.

Just imagine riding a fixie in this:
I can imagine a fixie in SoCal but not these hills... even when it's not snowing and just raining or sleeting 8(

Amor- no need to apologize. They make me cringe. I respect that it's difficult or intense or whatever. But, why not ride your bike on the beach, or in the mountains or some long long distance? That's me, though.
A lot of this was focused in San Francisco, where most of them looked like they were jobless and had death wishes.
I need to watch Drive, apparently.
Also, I need to watch Memento again and Clay Pigeons. Pre-bloat Vince Vaughn is one of my favorite things ever.

Equus:
The story of how I came to check this one out starts with my girlfriend telling me she saw Harry Potter's cock in the Equus stage play years ago in London. Peter Firth hangs dong here, too. But seriously, this is solid psychological horror. Come for the male frontal nudity, stay for the critique of modern notions of sanity and the horse eye gouging.
Pontypool
Most of this one seems like a filmed radio play because it takes place almost entirely inside of a broadcast studio. That may sound boring but it's an inspired setting for the themes to play out. Lots of people don't seem to "get it," and it's divisive, so be warned (think memes and ideologue-entranced talk radio listeners if you're lost). I thought it was a unique, if abstract and credulity straining, take on the zombie genre.

Because I knew it must be called something, 5 seconds of statistically improbable searching revealed it was "Scandinavian Noir" or "Scandi Crime" -- though prior to the thought that somebody else named it, I thought it: "'post collapse' - new extremity - neo-noir." Thank Jebus H. Chrackers somebody came up with a shorter term to contextualize the thing.
Anyways, 30 mg of MXE and this film and you're golden.

so just found out i've been paying for dvd rental and not just instant for the past two months.
you guys have any movies you wish you had in your DVD queue if you weren't broke junkies and could afford the extra 9$ a month? i've got like four in there, but you know, hopefully we'll go through that fast.

This one's from the director of "City of Lost Children." "A Very Long Engagement" has the perfumed-letter warmth of his "Amelie" but shucks off that film's quirkiness, which is entirely appropriate for its more serious wartime themes, yet it isn't deprived of its creator's lighter touches. It retains the playful mechanical surrealism recalled by "Delicatessen's" Rube Goldberg inspired plot movements, for instance, albeit more restrained and particular in expression, making for a more somber but still familiar experience for any viewers hoping again, as I was, to feel the brush of Jeunet's inimitable aesthetic touch.

^I assume that though this is called "The Netflix Mega Thread," that "The Netflix Instant Streaming Mega Thread" is what is really implied, and so what you're asking for is for any old movie recommendation accessible within the total Netflix library (which is Hollywood film centric but still so vast that to have a thread truly meant to just discuss Netflix's instant and DVD access in isolation only versus unfettered access to all of history's film and video media would be quite odd, but then why did you ask in the Netflix thread, and why isn't this thread titled differently?)? [/half light fun poking half genuinely curious aside].
Anyways, seeing as I'm not a junkie, but rather an underemployed Liberal Arts masters degree recipient who finds life outside academia a source of unending existential crisis and is starting to think becoming a junkie might make for a better excuse for his lack of funds and motivation to pursue a career than maintaining his frustratingly lucid status -- yet who nevertheless isn't quite so destitute as to be unable to afford the extra $9 a month for DVD rentals -- I'll entertain your request and toss you a mix of queue-able lesser known new and old titles I've personally verified are worth everybody's attention.
"Come and See" (1985)
"Visions of Frank"
"The Secret of Kells"
"Wizards"
"Stalker"
"Dead or Alive" (1999)
"Blood Simple"
"Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind"
"Allegro Non Tropo"
"The Triplets of Bellville"
"Dead Man"
"Songs From the Second Floor"
"Leolo"
"Fanny and Alexander"
"Hukkle"
Ok. Goodnight. I've done what I intended and exhausted myself enough through making this post to get to bed in time to wake up for my unwanted job.
